I can't speak for the others, but I have insomnia and I usually do pointless stuff like this when I'm up late!

I just got a chance to look through some of the playlists that have been posted recently...you guys are good!

TL - Love all the background you added...that would definitely make a great show!

mrswoman - you've got some of my favorites in your list...and REM's Voice of Harold is a nice touch! I hadn't played that song in years (hadn't even listened to that disc in ages) but I dug it out and played it after seeing it on your list. That one is a tie for my favorite REM studio one-off, alongside that sad, drunken rendition of King of the Road (oh dear)!

This is what I've been listening to, today.
1. Another Brick In The Wall - Pink Floyd
2. Someplace Only We Know - Keane
3. Why Does It Always Rain On Me? - Travis
4. Park Life - Blur
5. The Importance Of Being Idle - Oasis
6. Common People - Pulp
7. Vertigo - U2
8. Ray Of Light - Madonna
9. Ashes To Ashes - David Bowie
10. Games Without Frontiers - Peter Gabriel
11. Hyperactive! - Thomas Dolby
12. Afternoons and Coffeespoons - Crash Test Dummies
13. Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
14. Babylon - David Gray
15. Hollow Man - R.E.M.
16. One Day Like This - Elbow
17. Tears Dry On Their Own - Amy Winehouse
18. Hold On - KT Tunstall
19. I'm Scared - Duffy
20. The Man Who Can't Be Moved - The Script
21. High and Dry - Radiohead
22. Half The World Away - Oasis
23. The Lovers are Losing - Keane
23. Mirrorball - Elbow
24. Dead From The Waist Down - Catatonia
25. Say Hello, Wave Goodbye - David Gray
